Book Spotlight: By The Stars

By The Stars

Lindsay Ferguson

He was lost. Lost in those deep brown, beautiful eyes.
As clear as day, Cal heard a voice inside his head: “That is the girl you are going to marry.”

When Cal finally gets a chance with Kate, the girl he’s loved since grade school, their easy
friendship quickly blossoms into a meaningful romance. But World War II soon cuts their time far too short, and Cal prepares to part from her—possibly for good. With Kate’s memory willing him on, Cal must put his trust in God to survive if he hopes to ever return to her. Inspired by a true story, By the Stars is a romance that stands the test of time and the most intense obstacles.

￼￼￼“By the Stars is an enchanting tale . . . of faith, destiny, and the life-changing power of enduring love.”
—Lindsay Maxfield, editor Deseret Media Companies

“Present and past meld together in this richly crafted story. . . . As I finished the last page, I closed the cover, hugged the book close to my chest, and sighed with contentment as my new friend Cal finished telling me his story, and oh, what a story.”
—Kelly Dearth, founder of DeliciousReads.com

Author Bio:

Lindsay Ferguson has been immersing herself in stories since her childhood days of sneaking a flashlight into her room and staying up reading The Babysitters Club series way past her bedtime, writing spinoffs of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and imagining herself in fascinating, far-off places. She still dreams of traveling the world one day, and finds getting lost in a good book almost as absorbing as penning her own stories and experiencing them unfold. A Communication graduate from the University of Utah, she worked as a PR and marketing writer for a computer software company for several years before resigning to focus on raising her family. She has also contributed lifestyle articles to various media outlets. When she felt the itch to attempt novel writing a fascination with history created a natural inclination toward historical fiction, with a romantic flare, of course. She lives in a suburb of Salt Lake City with her husband and four children. By the Stars is her first novel.
